Code Pink activist Medea Benjamin confronted Lindsey Graham at an Atlantic Council forum with Jake Tapper.

Benjamin was supposed to be asking the Republican presidential candidate a question, but instead held onto the microphone for more than two minutes before security escorted her out of the room. While she still had the floor, Benjamin implored Graham to speak out against beheadings in Saudi Arabia and the Israel’s “repression” of the Palestinians, among other issues.

“Is there a question?” an uncomfortable-looking Tapper asked as Graham chuckled to himself and rubbed his eyes.

“I’m going to put her down as undecided,” Graham joked after Benjamin’s mic had been taken away. While he said he respected her right to express her opinion, the senator said, “I couldn’t disagree with you more.”

“I think people like you make the world incredibly dangerous,” he continued. “I think people like you are radical Islam’s best hope.” He argued that the Iraq War did not create ISIS just as American intervention did not set the stage of 9/11. “You’re not going to fool me that somehow we brought this upon ourselves,” he said.

    I thought Ms Lindsay liked the color pink…go figure.
    No, radical Islam’s best recruiting tool is the republican party.

    “He argued that the Iraq War did not create ISIS just as American intervention did not set the stage of 9/11.”
    You know, I was never under the impression that this guy was presidential material, but I at least figured he was qualified to cross the street by himself.
    Another illusion shattered.

      I say we let him cross the street by himself and live with the consequences.

    clearly the terrorists are targeting you because of your interventionism – american get what they deserve

    besides, terrorism isn’t that big a deal except for Middle Eastern countries. You should focus on attack equalists at home

    That’s like telling people that weather happens because they watch the weather channel or catch it on the news.
